Effects of acetate-free haemodiafiltration (HDF) with endogenous reinfusion (HFR) on cardiac troponin levels

We observed an increase in cTnT during HFR with acetate and drops manifested during HFR without acetate; it may therefore be concluded that the drop in cTnT level, significantly correlated with lack of acetate, is indicative of improvement of cardiac microvascular function.
